Month: November 2013

I first though ISON broke in many pieces, but I read that we’re in the Leonid meteor season. The new thing (to me) is crossing their path in broad daylight, and it was amazing.

I woke up too late to try to find it even though today was going to be a clear day, but still I decided to look outside, already the Sun up, but I had a feeling… and lo and behold: I saw several (at least 6) blazing horizontal trails of white light moving very fast.

Cool! 6 comets meteors in a few seconds! 🙂

Sadly I was too amazed to take pictures of this scenery, so I have to draw it, this is how it looked:

Diagram of the six meteors i saw

After a bath I looked outside again and sure enough those parts were gone, but two more were visible.

I just peeked outside and another one was quickly skipping through the sky.

Did this just really happen or was it another phenomena?

Are these meteors or is it really the light of the new child comets which are moving so blazingly-but-not-light-speed fast?

Here’s a short video of the last piece I saw, it’s faintly visible, but it’s there!

A newbie mistake that is quite easy to do on pump.io is to set a name for your instance, then decide to change and… oops, you changed /etc/pump.io.json but it doesn’t change! WTF!?

In my case I was particularly pissed off because there’s a bug on pump.io with certain characters, I had named my instance 1407’s Pumps but apparently pump.io doesn’t like that quote there… displayed instead 1407&#27;s Pumps. ANGRRRY!

After digging through all keys in my instance, I found out that mine was service:urn:uuid:b0f6e849-4a8b-4b8a-9f3d-1ee221d62d58 (faked uuid), but there may be a lot of service:urn:uuid: entries (234 when I did this)!

Here’s how you can fix it on your database as well (I’m using redis, you’ll have to adjust to your particular case if using another DB).

I helped support the Let’s Build a Goddamn Tesla Museum campaign raised by Matthew Innman on IndieGoGo, last year, with 50 $USD with the t-shirt and sticker perks. Estimated to arrive on October 2012 but… I was one of the few unlucky ones who had to wait a bit longer. More than one year longer 🙂

But I’m not sad, I’m happy the campaign succeeded at almost double the goal, which ensured the creation of the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe and today I’m super happy the perks arrived.

The sticker will go to my future laptop, I’m keeping it in a safe place until I can afford it, and I couldn’t resist taking a quick pic or didn’t happen 🙂
